Reflections on the sovereignty of God over disability, disease and suffering, for God's glory and for our good.

The Word never grows old

As I prepared to speak to the men of the seminary last week, I realized these verses on God’s intentionality and sovereignty over disability simply never lose their power.

And I am grateful he let’s me see these verses as good news. I pray the same for you.

Exodus 4:11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?”John 9:1-3 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.”Psalm 139:13-16For you formed my inward parts;you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret,intricately woven in the depths of the earth.Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them,the days that were formed for me,when as yet there was none of them.
